      Great benefits and work/life balance. Job satisfaction can vary.

      Pros

      Microsoft has excellent benefits and professional development opportunities. If you have a good manager and management chain, job satisfaction will be high. You can still learn a lot about what not to do even when things take a downturn. There are almost always opportunities to learn and grow even when the political winds change direction.

      Cons

      If you have a bad manager or management chain you will be stifled and may not get fairly assessed come review season. Most people tend to be both smart and competitive.

      Microsoft is truly an awesome place to work at.

      Pros

      Everything from the hiring process, the on-boarding process to actual work items are all so smooth and clear. Managers are always looking out for career opportunities for you. There are formal mentor programs which help a lot in planning a career. The company meeting is so much fun and motivating and the management is very mature but still so much fun.

      Cons

      No free food :-). But, I would rather have great management than free food.

      A great place to start career, but no career path for software engineers.

      Pros

      Great facility to work in; fabulous benefits, especially Pro Sports Club; working with extremely smart and motivated co-workers; an interesting mix of products to work on; a flexible work schedule.

      Cons

      Stack ranking reviews means that even if there are 10 super-star performers on a team, one of them gets an "U10" (under performed rating); the cut-throat politics to stay out of the U10 status means ZERO team collaboration; senior leadership that is more interested in their bonuses than product development.
